Wildflowers - Chrysanthemum Seeds

We often think of Chrysanthemums as a fall blooming flower, but there are quite a few members of this family, and some of them bloom in the summer season. More often, these flowers are simply referred to as Daisies. The seeds are pretty easy to grow, and they grow very quickly - some are even considered aggressive in their growth. Lots of whites and yellows here, and if you are looking for more colors, then try growing the Painted Daisy which has a rainbow of colors like purple, yellow, red, orange, and white.

The noted American botanist and horticultural expert Luther Burbank introduced this popular flower in 1901, a product of more than 15 years of selection and breeding. He named this stunning little flower after California's Mt. Shasta, a snow-capped mountain. The poet Chaucer was the first to give this family of flowers the name "day's eye," because of their habit of opening in the morning and closing at night. A common saying of the era stated, "When you can put your foot on seven daisies, summer is come." In the language of flowers, daisies symbolize innocence, simplicity, and modesty.
